1905
Our Bill Blatner, affable, versatile lawyer, gentleman farmer, business man, musician, art connoisseur, received special recognition last June. In a souvenir program of the annual convention of the Associated Retail Confectioners of the United States, he was featured as having completed thirty very successful years as secretary of that organization. He is listed also as serving as treasurer. To quote, "To say that Bill's record as secretary and treasurer has been commendable would be an understatement. ... His management and administration of the administrative and fiscal affairs of the Association add up to a very noteworthy achievement."
A card from Sanborn, Jackson and Biorn announces that James H. Mulally, heretofore Assistant General Counsel of the Great Northern Railway Co., is now associated with them in the practice of law at 520-530 Endicott Building, St. Paul, Minn. Congratulations, Jim!
From Royal Parkinson comes word that Walter Nourse had been ashore from his island paradise and had dropped into his (Royal's) office recently. Also that Charlie andJessie Brooks and Roger and Frances Brown had paid him visits. All apparently in good health.
Chester Moore's address now is General Delivery, McAllen, Texas. Apparently Paene and his wife found that an agreeable spot to spend the winter, as this is their second visit there.
Here are a few changes of address: ChesterP. Smith, 136 7th Ave., Lakeside, Trenton 10, N. J.; Harry Taplin, 15281/0 Bentley Ave., Los Angeles 25, Calif.; Henry Hobart, Hotel Empire, Broadway and 63rd St., New York City.
Charles Hodgman writes that he had a busy summer between his camp on Lake Baboosic and his new home in Milford, N. H. New lawns and extensive plantings of roses have kept him well occupied. He and Clara entertained their son and daughter and respective families during the summer.
The Middleboro (Mass.) Gazette of September 3 shows a cut of Fred Weston studying a plan of building lots. In a gratifying complimentary account of his activities, it states that, in his 38 years in insurance and surveying, he has built up a reputation for dependability and high integrity which has won him the confidence and trust of an increasing clientele.
Norman Stevenson likewise is the subject of an article in the Valley News. A real estate broker for A. B. Gile Co., Inc., in Hanover, former president for two years of the New Hampshire Association of Realtors, he is credited with being instrumental in that area in promoting better relations between the agent and the customer. Norm has also been a director on the National Association of Realtors.
Don't forget the '05-'06 dinner at the Dartmouth club, New York, December 11. TubBesse hopes for a good turn-out.
WHO'S WHO IN '05 Charles D. Hodgman
If, in saying "Dust thou art, to dust returneth," the poet means a young man coming to college from the farm, and in his sunset years returning to the same soil for retirement, he must have been referring to Charles Hodgman. For Charles came from Milford, N. H., was transplanted to Cleveland and last year returned to his old home town, where he has built a lovely, comfortable home in the modern style.
A quiet, intelligent, good-natured, hardworking, Phi Beta Kappa student while in college, Hodgman remained at Dartmouth a year longer than most of his class, as assistant in the physics laboratory. Since then he has been teaching with only one employer until his retirement in 1952.
The Case Institute of Technology on the shore of Lake Erie is one of the country's foremost engineering colleges. It awards the degree of Bachelor of Science in science and engineering and advanced degrees in the same fields. Starting there as instructor in physics, Mr. Hodgman began a 46-year climb. He was awarded an M.S. degree there. In 1919, he became assistant professor. Two years later he was made associate professor. Each year, beginning in 1914 and continuing up to the time of retirement, he has edited the Handbook ofChemistry and Physics, a widely used reference book of over 3000 pages and now in its 35th edition. For many years he taught in the Institute's summer school.
While in Cleveland, he exercised his hobbies of growing roses and practising color photography, and served a period as vice president of the New England Society, vice president and trustee of the Cleveland Rose Society, and, for the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, as secretary-member of its board of deacons, and chairman of its board of religious education.
In the latter part of each of these 46 summers, Professor Hodgman and his family would trek back to New Hampshire for a few weeks at their summer camp on Lake Baboosic, also near his birthplace.
Four years after graduating from Dartmouth, at the end of the summer vacation, Charles took to Cleveland as his bride the same girl who had been his guest at graduation, Clara B. Mayhew. Clara was born on Martha's Vineyard Island and later became a graduate nurse in Lynn, Mass. In the succeeding nearly half-century, in addition to a most creditable career in the teaching profession, they have reared a family of distinction. Their son, Edward M. Hodgman, is an architect in Cleveland, specializing in modern functional design, and is a member of the zoning commission of the city of Lyndhurst, the Cleveland suburb in which he resides. He graduated from Case Institute as a civil engineer and from Western Reserve University School of Architecture. He designed the new home for his father and mother. Their daughter Margaret, now Mrs. Earl L. Stone Jr., is the wife of a Cornell University's professor of forest soils. She has won a Ph.D. from Western Reserve University, has taught botany there and has served as director of the Garden Center of Greater Cleveland.
The Hodgman progeny are certainly giving a good account of themselves and are a credit to their parents. Now that the senior Hodgmans are so near Hanover and in such good health, and neighborliness among classmates is proceeding so well, they will be especially welcome at '05 gatherings.
